Deputies found four people cooking meth in a camper after responding to an anonymous complaint about drug activity near New Smyrna Beach, an official said.

When deputies arrived about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at 910 Cavedo St., they spotted Tye Lewandowski exiting the 25-foot, pull-behind camper with a duffel bag, which he quickly discarded when he saw law enforcement, Volusia County sheriff’s spokesman Brandon Haught said Wednesday.

Inside the partially open bag, deputies could see bottles, tubing and liquids associated with the production of meth, Haught said. When a deputy knocked on the camper door, he heard a lot of commotion and could smell a strong chemical odor.

Jeffrey Goodwin, Bobby Sutton and Kathryn Talbott came out of the camper a couple minutes later, Haught said. A search by the Volusia County Clandestine Laboratory Response Team yielded an active meth lab.

Lewandowski, 46, Goodwin, 38, and Sutton, 39, are charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of listed chemicals, records show. Talbott, 28, of Edgetwater, also faces charges of trafficking in methamphetamine, manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of listed chemicals.
